I like the upgrade trade option the best.

just looked it up in the Quickbooks...
2/18/08 4781.22 Curtis Cab w/ doors, Heater, Windshield Wiper, installation and shipping.

Sure the factory cabs may?? have a better fit, but its a TRACTOR not a Luxury Sports car.. (Although they are almost as much fun to drive)

Does this include all the airconditioning parts, compressor, linesets, condenser, brackets, fan belt?

That's everything included, which really doesn't suprize me since the price new between os and cab is about 7k. If the 110 had a factory cab I'd be upgrading for sure.

I would certainly do more leg work before you order anything. As an example, a 'replacement' cab is available from Kubota for my B3030 for approximately $6200. It is noted in the wholegoods list that it requires 'some' factory parts to be re-used. I assume this is to repair tractors that have rolled over and damaged the cab. I'd bet the cab would not come with the HVAC unit, and I'm sure it doesn't include A/C compressor, brackets,belt,hoses, heater hoses, different floor mats / pans, yadda, yadda. yadda. Not saying any manufacturer's parts are more or less expensive than other manufacturer's parts......... I think OEM parts are expensive no matter what color they are. I honestly think you will be far ahead by trading your current tractor, even if you are turning the wrenches yourself.

I agree there's so many little parts and extra things you'll need, not to mention all the wiring harnesses controls which I'm sure you'll have to pull for yourself, as I stated earlier my dealer gave me a great deal just to avoid the work of installing a cab on my TC 40 LOL give your dealer a chance at trading it in you might be surprised how much he's willing to work with you to keep a satisfied customer, or tell them you're going to change colors for a cab LOL that'll get him take care

Where in JDParts do you see that GWH? I found the cab shell, and the interior, then there is the frame...but nowhere did I see the entire cab. There are just to many differences, all the levers are different, the seats are different, the wiring harness as well is different.'

They are just two totally different machines:confused2:

Matt,
I am glad I didn't wait for the 110 with factory cab, I am still satisfied with the Laurin cab.:thumbsup: Since I have enough of the smaller stuff now next upgrade will be a 210LJ landscape loader with factory cab and 5 rear outlets.:thumbsup:

I would agree 100%. I too have a 3320. Been thinking about a Curtiss hard side, but then again I think-"do I spend more time moving snow, or more time pulling logs out of the woods". That glass can be pretty expensive to replace!

I too cast my vote that the thing that makes the most sense is to upgrade say to a 4000 series cab.

It listed under section 32 - CAB but it doesn't state what comes with it and I'll bet no wiring or AC compressor lines.

Part Number: LVA16958
Replaces Part: MIA10726
Part Price: 5,690.00 USD
Description: 3X20-4X20 CAB FRAME ASSY (DOM/EEC)

I can tell you from installing Hiniker and Year-a-Round cabs that installing a cab is a long way from an easy job
